My favorite is identifying the awesome music from other movies. I can't remember what it was, but I near bluescreened when I recognized some trailer music as music from Shawshank Redemption

How about the complete overuse of Lux Aeterna? I used to love that piece and now I clench my teeth when I hear it.

More specifically, the remixed and extra bombastic version of it first used for the debut trailer for The Two Towers. And then seemingly every other fucking trailer after it for I don't even know how many years.

Clint Mansell's soundtrack for Requiem for a Dream is fantastic but just like you, I just groan whenever I heard that song now.

Remember, most people use production company music for trailers, such as Two Steps From Hell and X-Ray Dog, so you'll hear the same music a lot on TV and movie promos. It's become a game to me since I listen to TSFH a lot, so I can instantly recognize one of their songs during a trailer/commercial.

No worries. If you're just casually watching at all the awesome, it may be subtle enough that you don't notice, but it appears to show:

Spoiler: show

How Supes saves Lana from crashing in an alien pod and several other conclusions to various action scenes.

But far more significantly:

Perhaps it's a trick of editing for the trailer, but it looked to me like Clark isn't talking to his dad's hologram at the fortress but in space, from behind glass as if Jor El is in the phantom zone. Although, the fact that Zod was on a penal ship would suggest they're avoiding the whole phantom zone concept (which is good in my opinion as it always struck me as hokey, even for a story with a flying alien that looks like a human but can never be identified because of glasses.)

I've been reading some of those negative reviews. I'm not certain that those reviewers actually have a good sense of what Superman is about beyond the movies. They seem upset that Superman is beating the living snot out of other superpowered beings towards the end of the film... Which is kind of what Superman is about once you've gotten over and done with the "Really Good Guy That Wants To Be A Good Human Even Though He's An Alien"-part of the story, I'd say. The nerd reviewers that are out there (mostly the online reviewers) seem to love it.

Agreed. The negative reviews I've seen have been pretty WTF. Some of them seem to have a grudge against Snyder, too.

Yeah, I read the NYT's review and it struck me that his opinion was probably not all that applicable to me.

I already booked the tickets and it seems all the cinemas in town are showing it this weekend and when I tried to book this Saturday's times, they were almost out.

I read those negative reviews. Rather flabbergasted and somewhat amused by them. Perhaps they expect more sensitive stuff like Superman Returns, which I felt was a good film if not for the fact it was obviously paying too much attention to what went before in the Donner films.
